A proto-Germanic / Norse ‘Levensrune’ called “Algiz” used to mark graves for millenia.
- The creator of the peace sign said (years later) it was actually meant to be a depiction of a B52 bomber…
- Then he changed its origin story to: the semaphore for “NP” (Nuclear Non-proliferation)…
- Then decades later he said it was inspired by a Goya painting, the inverted shape of the man before a firing squad.
Clearly, this is yet another lie from the Sixties. The joke’s on us yet again. We’ve been wearing “death” runes this whole time.
